THE COMMISSION SPEAKS.

The interstate railway commissioners not
only mean business, but it is apparent from
the manifesto published this morning they
understood their business. According to
their understanding congress passed the
interstate commerce law with the eXpecta-
ton that it would be enforced. The com.
inissioners are firm in the belief that they
were appointed for the purpose OF seeing
that it was enforced. They are also of the
opinion that it is their province to construe
the law, and that that duty does not rest
. with the railway companies. The COM
missoners give public notice that the
law will be impartially but strictly en-
forced. They give it out cold that there is
to be no monkey business about the matter.
They are not playing make believe game.
but are dreadfully in earnest. 1t is ell
couraging to have such clear declaration
from the commissioners. 1t comes in most
excellent time, too. 1t will remove APP
prehension and restore confidence and
stability to the business interests of the
country. The commission has the power
of the government behind it, and the con-
tidence of the people to sustain it and its
members can afford to take decided stand
in defence of the public rights against the
Vaccinations Of the railway managers to
make the law oppressive and obnoxious.

NEW LABOR EMIT.

The Boot and Shoe Cutters of New
England Form an independent
Society.
BosToN. April 18.-A new labor move
ment has been started in New England,
which will to some extent weaken the
knights of Labor organization. A large
number OF the boot and shoe cutters of New
England have formed all independent
union. 1t is intended by the projectors of
the movement to give the union scope
similar to that of the LasterS' Protective
union. but more effort will made to adjust
all difficulties By arbitration rather than by
strikes. Several meetings have been held
at which delegates were elected and in
structed to meet on April 16 and perfect
the organization and also to devise some
mode Of extending the union and to issue
suitable resolutions to boot and shoe cut
tiers, that they might be induced to join.
The executive board, acting in accordance
with their instructions, held meeting
Saturday at the American house. After
the transaction of routine business resolu-
tions were adopted which set forth the in
tent and purpose of the organization. The
resolutions state that the objects of this
union is more effectuaIly to protect the in
tereSts of all boot and shoe cutters in the
New England states and to secure uni
form rate of wages according to the amount
and quality of the work done. They also
state that strikes and iockouts are wrong in
principle, and tend to work harm, and are
not for the interest of employer or employee.
and that they should not be resorted to until
all other measures fail. A committee is
soon to be appointed to thoroughly organize
every town and city in New England. and
from present appearances 1t is thought by
members of the executive board that nearly
every cutter will have joined before the
end of the year, Over six thousand boot
and shoe cutters of New England were rep
resented at the meeting

HASE BALL.

This is the season when the voice of the
base ball player is heard in the land. He
has come back to stay until November's
blasts drive him back into winter quarters
again Men, women and children by the
thousands will flock to the fields day after
day TO watch the great national game. They
will scan the daily papers with eagerness
each morning to learn what has been going
on in distant baseball fields. The GLOBE
understands TO what extent popular interest
Is directed toward this and all other athletic
sports and proposes to cater to it by giving
full reports of all games Of note occurring
in the country. TO people of morbid dis
positions base ball and kindred games are
looked upon as an idle waste of time. They
cannot discover the sense in q lot of men
going out into field every day and spend
ing hours knocking balls around over the
ground and running themselves to death to
get from one base to another. 70
their eyes it looks to be sin
TAI waste of time and phySi-
cal strength. They cannot understand why
hundreds and thousands of men and women
eau content themselves To stand around and
langh at and cheer the silly players. But
aftel all, this view of it is only morbid
one. There Is really great deal of sport
III game OF base ball. Whatever amuses
i, blessing. People are happier and
healthier from having their spirits elated
Base bal is specially popular because there
is less ri The hippodroufe about it than, al
most any other sport to which men are
given. And in addition to all this it brings
people out into the an and gives them
healthful exercise. And in that way our
great national game is genuine blessing.
1t is one of the means of developing the
rising generation into a race OF stalwart
nen to supersede the dudstic specimens
which this era has aborted. Whether we
have an individual fondness for base ball or
not. we feel inclined 10 encourage it be-
cause of its prospective benefit to the ma
ton in this one respect.
